When Rossini died in 1868, Verdi urged his compatriots to compose a requiem in memory of the departed master, with each composer taking on a single movement.

The work was completed, but the originally planned premiere fell through, and it was not until 1988 that it was first played, in Stuttgart, with Helmuth Rilling conducting.

At this All Saints’ Day concert, the Müpa Budapest audience will get to witness what promises to be the unique experience of the Hungarian premiere, performed under the baton of Henrik Nánási by an international cast of soloists and the Hungarian Radio Music Ensembles.

Place: National Concert Hall Budapest

Address: 1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell utca 1.
